Love and War

05:Sealed Fate

MIRA'S POV:

My feet haul me through the hallways of my university where I climb the stairs and taking a sharp right stop at the door of the auditorium. We had a presentation today and if my all nighter went to waste I'd literally snap. I had to secure the first position.

And that Zayn couldn't stop me from getting what I want.

I heave in a deep sigh and open the door. Everyone is already seated and the one presenting first in none other then my rival himself. I pass him an eyeroll as he simply raises an eyebrow in my direction. Taking a seat I take out my laptop opening it and last checking for any mistakes in my presentation.

I find none. Great.

Zayn starts his presentation and he is good, but his points lack much potential and logic as he rounds towards the end of presentation I cant help a smile from striking my features as I take in the fact that my idea is opposing his.

"As you all know Information Technology is on its heights right now, With all the other fields like Medical and even Engineering being saturated People retort to a profession which will lead them to  a good enough outcome My opinion on this matter is that if we don't want to make this field like others we only employ the ones who are generally best in their work, Thankyou." Everyone claps as he ends his presentation and the next number is of course me.

"Mira Farjad." The announcer calls my name and I stand up and walk towards the front.

Heaving in a sigh I start my presentation keeping in mind to leave extra opposing points in the aspect which is favoured by Zayn on my way, The encouraging nods and the intrigued looks compel me to continue more confidently.

"But the opinion that I oppose is that the fields being saturated isn't the young generations fault it is actually what should be taken seriously by the government, no doubt the fields are saturated but with Artificial Intelligence growing people are getting more intrigued to technology field and us being fair in our employment should give a chance to everyone who deserves it, because you can't actually label a person unworthy before testing out them out."

The sound of clapping is heard loudly and I mentally pat myself for getting the Dean's approval.

"Very well, Mira. You may be seated." The announcer tells me and I with a small nod comply and make my way back to the seat.

"Nailed it, Girl." Sienna, my fellow batchmate compliments and I blow her a flying kiss in return.

The presentations went on and every one was exceptionally good in their own way, once the bell rang I picked up my bag finally done for the day and not to mention my feet were hella swelled  because of sitting in the same posture for hours.

Yes, I could've walked away after my presentation but I've gained respect by returning it and walking away would've been against it.

I struggle to stand on my own for a moment but no one was to blame except me. Gaining my composure back again I stood upright and went on my merry way towards the cafe.

"You were good."  I stilled. 

"What?" I looked back to see Zayn strolling towards me his bag on his shoulder hair disheveled, a tired look in his eyes and endless pools of black that drowned me in the more I looked. 

"You were good." He repeated. 

"I know." I replied offering him a sassy hairflip.

A chuckle greeted me in response. "Yours could've been better but ofcourse you feel a greater good in supporting a negative view."

"It isn't about negativity I thrive on challenges, Mira farjad." I gave him a somewhat concerned look upon seeing his barely there smile.

"Don't give me that look." A laugh followed.

I had nothing yet everything against him. Asshole probably got off on teasing me and competition with him was surely draining. But a great distraction.

Although he doesn't need to know that. I didn't notice I was staring in his eyes from the past minutes and he was meeting my stare. 

Like he always did.

"Coffee?" I nodded with an eyeroll.

"God, University is almost over." I recall of this being our last semester in my head.

He chose to stay silent.

I finished my coffee in a hurry to get to my girls as we were going shopping today and then just a few steps later, I stopped.

Zyran Chaudhary had a brother who was in the Tech field too and surprisingly went to the same university as me he was to be taking over the technology related side of his family's business next year which leads to him being in the last year-

"Shit No." I said out loud.

"Kia musibat hai tumhe kaan pharnay hain mery?." He sad rubbing his ears.

(Whats your problem want me to go deaf or something?)

"Itni bhi unchi awaaz nai thi zyada over mat ho."

(IT wasn't even that loud, over.)

He passed me a look which urged me to go on.

"You aren't Zyran Chaudhary's brother, right?" I ask with a hopeful glint in my eyes.

Him being his brother meant seeing more of his face which will cost me my sanity and peace. And I wasn't ready for that just yet. I tolerated him at times but definitely not for him to freaking spawn at my Best friend's wedding.

The coffee he was drinking came out in a spit as he looked at me horrified.

"Is Amaya your bestfriend? Like that Amaya you always talk about with everyone?"

"Yes." And then upon my answer he laughed.

"My brother be damned." 

"Excuse me?" I stand in front of him.

"If your best friend is anything like you his fate is sealed." He replies.

"God, I just feel sorry for her now." I mumble.

"Me too." He sighs and repeats. "Me too."

I narrow my eyes at him.

"Okay What the hell?" He exclaims straightening up all of a sudden.

"YOU'LL BE THERE TOO?!" I slap his arm in response.

"Shut it, Dumbass. Everyone's listening." I hiss at him.

"Oh Wow, You really are obsessed with me right?"

 I scoff. "You have officially deluded yourself into oblivion, Zayn Chaudhary."

He curses under his breath.

"As long as you don't poke your small nose in my matters we will be okay." He says flicking his 2 fingers on my forehead which makes me stumble back  a little.

"Oye, stop it." I glare at him. "And FYI its better then having a gigantic one like yours."

He glares back at me offended.

I pass him a satisfied smile and flipping my hair in his face walk away from him.

I have to catch up with my girls and besides I have to break this bomb on them too.
